LOUGHBOROUGH Dynamo’s goalkeepers' ages for the coming season range from teenage to the over 40s! Dynamo have three goalkeepers going into the new season, the youngest being 19-year-old Kahil Mann-Kler, who has played more than 50 first team games for Dynamo in the last two seasons. ‘I started with Birstall United’s under 6 side as a forward. The following season I moved to Syston Town and their under 7 team, and I had a go in goal in a pre season friendly. I’ve been there ever since’ said Kahil. ‘I’m not a frustrated striker, the only time I play up front these days is in 5-a-sides in training’! Kahil admires the goalkeeping of David Seaman, and of present day goalkeepers Joe Hart and Kasper Schmeichel – ‘Kasper’s distribution is great’. 29-year-old Ross Whalin has joined Dynamo during the close season from neighbours Quorn. Ross said ‘I’ve been with Tom (Brookbanks) and Mark (Harvey) at both Hucknall Town and Quorn’. Ross, who won both Player of the Season and Supporters Player of the Season at Hucknall, added ‘Mark works on my goalkeeping and I feel I’ve improved in the last three seasons. I’m looking forward to a successful period at Dynamo. 'I also think the pitch is one of the best in the league’. Making up the trio of goalkeepers is the over 40’s member of the fraternity, new Dynamo Assistant Manager Mark Harvey. ‘I played in goal for Mansfield Town Reserves when the club was previously in the league’ said Mark, who went on to feature in the goalkeeper’s jersey for Ilkeston Town, Mickleover Sports and Belper Town, as well as Player-Manager with Sandiacre Town for five years. ‘I registered as a player in case of emergencies. I don’t play at this level now, as it takes too long to recover! However I still play in goal in the Premier Division of the Long Eaton Sunday League’.
